Abstract : With the availability of more and more redshift data every year from galaxy redshift surveys, it seems that very large structures keep on being found, like recently discovered Saraswati supercluster. Superclusters are the outliers of the density enhancement of matter in the Universe and by studying them we can put constraints on various cosmological models. We search for superclusters in the entire SDSS region. In our preliminary findings, we see other big structures / superclusters, but not as massive and large as the Saraswati supercluster. We present our current findings and results here.
